•Introduction

•Specifications

•I/O Ports Arrangement

•Panel Mounting

•Exploded Diagrams

Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The TPC-1261H touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 12.1” display is an x86-based platform with these key features:

• Fanless

By using a low-power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans, which often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the equipment.

• Bright Display

The TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.

• Powerful Communication Capability

TPC-1261H provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicating with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, a parallel port, Ethernet and USB 1.1 support. TPC-1261H also supports the expansion slot PCI/104. This makes it easy to expand with the required PCI/104 modules.

• Windows CE Support

In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers platform support for Windows CE and Windows XP embedded. The optional Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC1261H is available for Windows CE application program builders.
